The polish is what I’d call a classic, timeless colour – vampy red that just screams cool.

Here it is in all its glory. Two coats of pure-awesomeness.

I think it’s a ‘mature’ colour, I love it. This bottle is actually Mama Laurzrah’s because I used my bottle all up, and never got round to replacing it – I found a cheaper alternative.

Now, I slightly tricked you, because on my index finger I am in fact wearing an entirely different polish – can you tell the difference? I can’t.

The polish is Max Factor’s Ruby Fruit, a snip at £5.99 compared to Chanel’s price tag of £17.50.

There are quite a few Rouge Noir dupes floating around, but this is the best I’ve seen – if anything it’s shinier and better than Chanel. It also doesn’t chip as quickly… Chanel polishes do chip sooner than I’d like.
